"South Lake Tahoe" a South Lake Tahoe Travel Page by Nexus7

Lake Tahoe is one of the largest alpine lakes in the world. It was made by retreating glaciers from the last ice age. Because of this the lake is extremely deep. Well over 1000 feet in the deepest parts. Because the lake is formed out of solid rock and not from soft sediment, the lake is very clear with a nice bluish green hue. This is a nice region for the geological interest as well as the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the casinos and hotels. The outdoor recreation isn't bad either. This place has something for everybody.
